www.petitionen...
In today's episode I will be explaining a situation where a small dairy farmer got fined 120 000€ for noise and smells coming from his cattle shed by 6 of his neighbours. He now also has to take down the shed, if you want to help him keep his shed and the future of his farm you can sign the petition above. As I was back in Ireland, Mam and dad were busy on the farm vaccinating the weanlings, servicing the TL90 and they bought new wheels for the ford 5095 off a combine.
It's a disgrace, after he got planning permission and everything. What dreadfull neighbours.
I signed the petition to stop harassment of the farmer and to leave the shed as it is. Hopefully a higher court will reverse this stupid ruling.
Nice video Laura, that's crazy fining the farmer and having to demolish the shed, if you live in country agricultural smells are part of reality
The story about the shed is outrageous he should be taking the authority who gave permission to court for the costs plus the initial cost of building the shed.
Exactly! Building barns near other people's houses is outrageous, but the people at fault here are those who gave the permits.
@@matains88 if he got permission to build it the responsibility for this is with the planning authority who granted the permission.
@@roadwarrior8560 Probably, i'm just saying that the story might not be as simple. Maybe they were granted permission as long as they stayed under a certain pollution threshold and they failed to do that. I'd love to hear the counter argument before i jump on the wagon.
I'd go to prison before I'd pay it. .people want to live in the country they should respect the people who provide food and farm.hope the farming community come together and help him out.its frightening to hear that..to see what the russian s are doing in Ukraine and the hardship of the Ukrainian people and then to see what those neighbours are moaning about is awful.galway looking good this year for the hurling..
Used to have a local hog farmer that was bullied by the town he lived outside of. Unfortunately for the town he owned and farmed fields on all four sides of town.
Needless to say what ever way the wind blew he would always let you smell who paid the most taxes in the area.
Pure madness...biggest problem with the outcome from that case now...any non farmer living near a farm could get be getting ideas.
Informative video as always Laura👍
And they probably should! Now don't try to tell me that there's no place in the countryside to build a shed that is farther than 100m from a freaking village! If you sh*t on other people's heads, almost literally, then expect them to sue. I even try to take wind direction into consideration when applying manure to the fields because i value relationship with my neighbors, but having a barn of that size right outside the village is a different universe.
@@matains88 He got every approval None of the 6 neighbors complained about it before the building, He did everything correct Why should he have to suffer because he did it right Probably the 6 neighbors wanting a bit of handy money
@@kaelembyrne8682 First of all i think the farmer should sue departments that gave all the permits, but there is a possibility that he didn't comply to some sort of demands that were expected and that's the real reason farmer got fined. Remember that we're only hearing one-sided version of the story. It rarely is so simple as "i id everything right and i still got punished". Usually if we dig deeper some nasty stuff can be uncovered. Again, if everything was done right, he should be able to sue those departments.
I grew up on a farm until I was 10. 60 years later the smell of manure on a country drive brings a nostalgic smile to my face. Everybody poops.
Great video again,keep us updated on that poor farmer,a new comer to village in Spain was complaining about the cockerells crowing early in the morning, they let the MAYOR handle it,he told the cockerells were there first so she should leave what did she expect moving to the countryside,you can't beat common sense
Great video as always. That story of the farmer is a disgrace. In my mind it’s a bunch of busybody neighbours that want hassle
Evidently you have some crazy people there as you do here in the USA that do not understand where their food comes from and should appreciate having fresh farm products to put on their tables. And officials that are out of hand and have no common sense when it comes to judging against somethings that has been approved and deny a person to their livelihood and can destroy their business. I also love the doves cooing in the background while your dad is working on the front axle of the tractor. You have some very nice looking cattle. Thanks Laura!!!
Great video Laura the tractor looks great on the bigger tyres that story with the shed is absolute madness people have little to be giving out about do they forget where their food comes from the man only trying to make a living I just can’t believe it the poor man must be going through hell its wrong in so many ways I hope he doesn’t have to take the shed down or pay the fine
That story is unbelievable, that's got to be corruption going on there with whatever authority handed out that fine and order to take down the shed.🤬
the dairy farmer's plight is something that is happening throughout the world... it's crazy.... the world is facing a serious food shortage and yet the food producers are being destroyed by the persons who rely on the farmers....
let them go without food a while, they'll soon change their tune when everything they need has to be imported,
@@roadwarrior8560 the problem is it is the influential and wealthy who make the complaint and judgements but the poor that go hungry...
Brilliant video Laura lovely field of grass behind you can I say it really makes me angry when all the planning went through and now they want to fine him he went up in numbers by 10 cows the french should come to Ireland see real expansion
good video.sound was alot better today Laura so well done 👍
👋 Hello all,
The shed story is madness, but sadly the world is getting like this everywhere. Dorset in Southern England with its Jurassic Coast is becoming full of people out of town that like the look of the countryside - but have intolerance to how it works re:farming.
Those cattle awaiting their blue tongue vaccines looked dam good indeed. Glad that help is coming for silaging next week - that should/could make life a bit easier.
Declan, you are a master craftsman mechanic - I’m very envious of your skills and knowledge. I half expected to see you test driving the tractor with its new wheels….. one for the future no doubt. We have had a wet day here at last - yippie ….. not much, but something.
Take care, stay safe, be happy and keep those blue skies and smiles coming please. 🙏

similar things are happening in the Netherlands at the moment. does it matter where people who sign live? honestly it makes me sad that people and politicians don't realize that we're gonna have trouble feeding people if they keep strangling agriculture the way they do. right now they wanna move or buy out farmers, in 15 years they'll realize it wasn't enough to reduce emissions and on top of that prices for all the things we produce will go up. and the best thing about it all is that the big guys will survive, and the ' family farm' like the one mentioned in this video will be forced to give it all up and move on. i'll leave it at that.
they do realize it, this is part of the totalitarian conquest of the west. Back in WW2, they made the mistake of trying to do it to just part of the west, and expanding outward and it didn't work..this time, they're doing it to all of us at the same time because they don't think the second and third world nations will be able to fight them.
Emissions means nothing so it doesn't.. Hardly a farmers problem when the pastures are storing billions of tonnes of carbon just like the rainforrests..
Emissions is pure bullshite... If they gave a toss about emissions then wed already be using ethanol in the pumps, electric or what have you... Sure there still making plastic from crude oil but they will tell ya to not throw it on top of a dolphin, Makes me laugh so it does.. The corps and the govt are making hay while the sun shines .. There's far too much of a lucrative cash cow in the things that are destroying the planet for them to roll over and accept its time to change.. Sure havin't the fags and booze been killing and destroying family's for forever but you wont see them banning any of it.. Too much to be made in it again you see...
Oh hey buy this hemp rope made from natural fibers, and we will send it to ya wrapped in plastic and get a courier to drive down in his diesel van to give it to ya.. Hahah... The world is full of absolute codswallop... I'm burnt out.. ill stop rantin...
Sounds to me they just wanted a cash grab. This is an exceptionally bed precedent to set. And it’s just ridiculous to my mind. What’s a business supposed to do. Never improve itself???
As for the episode…enjoyable as usual. I’ve always wanted a pit in a shop myself, but we can’t have them over here anymore. And the new wheels you got. I think they look much better.
Nice video Laura. 👌the man about the shed leave it up.💯
That’s good Laura your dad he know to service all the machines
I like all the animals you have on your farm
How big is your farm?
Thanks good video
🙏👋👍🍻from west Australia
I hope the judgement gets overturned. Sounds ridiculously unjust.
Crazy fine on that poor farmer. 😲
In Cumbria we have awkward neighbours who buy houses in former farm yards but do not know the land around is still farmed , this one managed to cut the electricity supply to several farms and houses for 4 days last winter , I hope the petition does some good as some of these idiots need to know where the food in the shops comes from but the govements do not seem to know either.
There is an agenda that will be exposed soon to force small farms so to sell to the large corporations
MIGHTY VIDEO Laura That story is absolutely Mental makes a joke of farming really signed and donated to the Petition
You guys need to move to Saskatchewan. Agriculture is still respected here
Laura yes the urban rural divide and greedy Lawyers Bad mix Sometimes these cases are allowed to escalate out of all proportion Now where do I find that petition as I have looked but cannot find as I would like to sign Keep up the good work Paddy in Oz
What a ridiculous court ruling! What has the world come too?
Petition signed
where do these people think their food comes from I'm not a farmer(I grew up on one)I live beside a 300 head dairy farm I never had a problem with it .
There's sometimes smells and noise but that's living in the country I'd rather live beside the farm than beside a motorway airport or railway line some people are never happy
Was that old combine a Clayson 122. I could use it for spares
Thought the likes of that would only happen here. Signed
Not quite yet!
Had very same with the HSE here over a smoking room ...done everything by the book and exactly as requested by the HSE..They signed off on it...but 5 years later I was brought to court and ordered to close it by the HSE...cost a pure fortune ...absolutely crazy...god help that family...how these people can get away with this crap...
Well that was an interesting petition to try and sign 🤔 but I did 😁. The shed that looked better than some housing that's being chucked up in Scotland just now should be aloud to stay up . Think the local council should be paying for a bubble for over the neighbours houses that complained. They will do more damage to the countryside that a purpose build animal welfare center on a farm 😉 cracking vid. Stay safe 🏴
1:40 That's a hell of a photo.
For a minute I thought it was tilly keeper in a farming documentary.
Good video again thanks, must say you have lovely weaklings. Your dad loves messing with old machines
Lol that would never happen here will have a small farm in the state of Missouri we have been here for 37 years. About 30 years ago they put in 6 chicken barns you could only smell them every once and a while but they sold out and now they stink there not taken care of properly but no one will do anything about it. We can't sale out and move if you show your place to someone there not intended becouse of the smell.
That is complete bs,treating a down to earth farmer like that,where do people think food comes from? Farmers and ranchers grow our food,we need every one of these hard working heroes to carry on with their lifestyle ,so the rest of the world (City slickers) etc can enjoy the rat-race,God bless
There should be no way for neighboring farmers or any kind of neighbours to be able to object to that farmers shed, smells etc.after so many years from when he was granted approval for it and abided by all the necessary requirements & regulations at the time of building it. That case should be thrown out of court & the complainants should have to return any moneys received & made pay court costs etc. I would not be taking my shed down without a fight against the planning offices that approved all those original plans.
That's so sad!!!
Good!
They should've never allowed building near a village. I wouldn't build a barn this size just 100m from my own house, let alone a village, even if i got all the permits, because the laws can change at any moment. Also don't build near other people's houses, period. I can only imagine living in constant smell, and being smelly when you go to work or anywhere else. It is one thing to live with the smell of slurry when it's applied to the fields, but constant smell is something different.
Good girl keep it up
apparently the neighbors dont know the smells of the barn can dissolve them quite fast.
Should put loader on the ts 115
Im from the uk if you live in the country side you will smell muck any way it doesn’t matter if you 100m away or 1 mile away if they don’t like the smell why did the move to the country side any way this is part of country life so up the farmer who this has happened to
How on earth do you get a fine when you live outside of town 🥺😲
Great video again Laura. Will you be back for the rematch KK V Galway.
Absolutely disgusting how Farmers around the Globe are being treated by Town Folk.
Jesus what a lovely pair of neighbor's he has... I live within about 150 meters of a farm and sure there is a smell from time to time and the cows can be noisy around spring when the calves are taken off them, But like what do you want to do about it.. Its not like the Farmer is out there telling the cows to make a racket or asking them to smell the place out of it.. There animals.. Part of life it is.. Id miss the sound of his little tractors and cows if they weren't around..
Like what did the neighbours think what was going to happen when he built the new shed put in soundproofing like Cowes ball & poop so it is ridiculous that I could bring him to court get 120000 from him the farm was around me to put estes not pay all that money they were just looking for a quick book
Laura I am very disturbed by this court ruling and fine. If you live in a country area, you should have to tolerate country activities within reason, it is alarming that the courts should rule in this way. Some people think that the countryside is only for they're recreational use, I presume the same people eat food every day, where is that food to be produced ?
I think jessie should get her own youtube channel shes such a lovely big dog . Maybe her own facebook page i bet shed get lots of followers . Great vid as usual .that story bout the dairy farmer gettin fined for smell and noise its terrible . These folk that move into the country then start moaning bout our farming ways smells etc they should stay where they were abd not anoy anyone its same her in scotland bloody idiots . U take care look forwward to ur next vid . X ian .
It's terrible to hear about the farmer had permission I hope the French farmers will stop it
He should have moved the cows out and used for storage while the case was ongoing.
The French legal system is a strange beast as based in the Napoleonic code.
I would not sell any product to that village.
The people that complained should not be able to buy any farm products.
Yes thats ridiculous, hmmm
Can’t believe that has happened. Fight on farmers bet those who complain. Eat cheese and drink milk. Should not live in the country side.
Seeing here comments ,most are completely out of context. It's to do with firstly the planning who granted the buildings but secondly did the farmer disrespect the laws of noise? There are laws here against noise after certain hours and by reports of newspapers in his regions he was working and making noise at all hours in the night. Yes ghee were cattle shed smells,that's a reality of countryside life but as to the noise levels,there should have been some control. He was warned about noise levels but continued. How many would tolerate that even of farming background? This is not as simple as saying it anti farmer, there's more to it. Just happens that not all framers are respectful either as well as annoying non farming neighbours sometimes!!!
Looking after livestock involves working at all hours. If an animal is trapped or something you can't sit around until 07:00 or whenever to go and help it just because it involves making some noise. Description mentions dairy, but were they calving as well? You certainly can't leave animals in labour all night and potentially die from complications just because it's noisy. Was milking them at 06:00 or similar the problem? That's a part of milking, it involves setting up beforehand which involves operating equipment that makes noise, likewise packing up after the evening milking. If they want milk, cheese, butter, bread, etc they have to enable cows to be milked at some point. Yeah, noise limits are there for good reasons for residents and 'conventional' businesses that produce a lot of noise but can be switched off at the end of the day, a garage for fixing cars for example, but farms are 24/7 operations. You can't switch cows off or shove a cork of their backside just because it's 23:00. If a few dozen of them decide to wake up at 01:45 and start roaring if water troughs are empty or something, or equipment like a generator needs to start up during the night to keep stored milk at a suitable temperature, there's nothing the farmer can do to stop it.
The residents didn't object when told about the plans, there was no objections from authorities in building the shed and its purpose, and the only reason he was building the shed in the first place was to conform to the regulations authorities set on how farms should operate. What did they think a shed on a dairy farm was going to be used for? That's like not objecting to plans for an airport to be built next door then complaining when planes start landing there once built, an airport that local authorities legislate into being mandatory if a business is to continue suppling a vital resource for human life.
Where will we be if every farm that doesn't have the resources (sheds, etc) to comply with additional legislation, and don't expand to be able to comply with them because there are houses nearby, decided they'll just shut their doors instead? International food shortages and people starving to death in the supposedly 'developed' world, that's where. The situation in Ukraine has already shown how tight it is now just trying to supply food with ever tightening regulations. We'll see the affects in the next few harvests, even if the situation is resolved quicker than that.
@@markwright3161 I agree with every point you make,being an ex dairy farmer I do understand its constraints and ways. Your initial points were to the management of cattle,all true and not a problem. Then to your second part about building approval plans,again true. But where did this go wrong? How did the villagers turnagainst this farmer? These villagers all didn't come from Paris? Its not a simple as people v farmers,out of context. France is still very rural based society,all having farming roots and there's far less ridiculing of farmers here in France than Ireland where they're a little disrespected. Spoke to locals here about this case and they all confirmed the same,this farmer must have seriously breached the most basic limits. He must have very disruptive and we all knew unscrupulous farmers who gave a dreadful image from animal abusers to hormone users to tb rackets!! Knew some myself. But anyway this guy a dairyman and working all night,surely as I used to do milk at 06 00 then at 6 in evening and all done,no problem. Calving lasts a few months but isn't that noisy,there are times yes when roars come. Cattle well fed don't make noise and well fed apparently don't calve at night? This farmer to be fined what he was 120,000€ really must have caused problems, there are thousands of farmers like him all over France and no problem. To be approved his building there were obviously studies made and it satisfied the authorities. There were its very loud metallic sounds all night,bellowing of cattle and smells, smells are a reality of farming and shouldn't count. I'd like to see the evidence given and the sound recordings etc just to conclude. Just because he is a farmer doesn't excuse him from misbehaviour and respect. Being an ex farmer I'm defensive of farmers always,its my blood but I couldn't excuse a problematic one because that causes problems for the rest who farm in villages,this case could cause regulations to be implemented. Its happened before because of pollution,cattle racketeering etc.
@@oliver69cork46 Thanks for adding info. Metallic sounds changes it a bit, and all night I guess actually means all night and not someone woke up 2 hours earlier than they wanted to get up by something starting up then claiming it was all night in this case.
I'm in Northern Ireland so am more familiar with UK/ROI views on farming, town folk moving out to the country then having issues with it not being a mood garden or something.
I get defensive over things that can be misrepresented, town folk who think farming is just a pollution factory or something, even though that's utter rubbish as the grass etc is taking in anything cows produce, and it's the only way people get fed as politicians seem to forget, and that going vegan is best even though soya is imported from places like Brazil than is cutting down the rainforest in order to produce it, and the obsession of going electric when that involved vast manufacturing and scrapping processes that are extremely energy intensive that makes green cars not green at all (Volvo compared the production of an ICE model against an electric version of the same model, showing that you'd have to do 50'000 - 90'000 miles (depending on where your electricity comes from) in the electric one just to break even with the ICE emissions), amongst other things. If someone is biased against, I can appear biased in favour in an attempt to balance. :)
Bad examples are out there, it's just unfortunate that those against farming, etc then use that as an example of all farming and as a reason they need to make life more difficult for all farmers. Over here the BBC made a 'documentary' about dairy farming but seemed to actively seek out a badly run farm in Wales that mistreated animals that happened to also have a 'red tractor approved' thing (quality standards thing in GB), and they then painted the picture as if that was common, utterly ridiculous and very dangerous too. I wish the bad examples didn't exist, but sadly that isn't the case too often, 1 farm in 1'000'000 being too many.
@@markwright3161 agree 100% with you,you reflect on issues and you're quite right to attack misrepresentation, its everywhere today. Was a dairy farmer but after 20 years became disillusioned by the abuse of milk producers by cooperatives, its tough and not fair. I side very often with farmers but its case dependent, a farmer disrespectful of the environment or basic ethics I'm against eg animal cruelty. They should be banned for life. Metallic sounds apparently came from his cattle head feeders,I had similar but fitted rubber silencers because they even annoyed me and I was living away from people and alone!!! Thanks again for your message
That's should not happen to have to take the shed down
Those home owners are just looking for a quick dollar at that farmers experience shame on them dirty dogs that's all they are 😠😠
That is just scandalous carry on over a shed. Before anyone says anything I live less than 100 meters from my neighbors suckler farm sheds and my other neighbors dairy farm is right across the road
Hello I'm in co cork looking for a Fiat 100-90 super comfort cab is there anyone around there with one 😇
He should switch to producing free range geese in that field near them houses, they make lots of noise, and throw in a few pigs too, bloody townies.
Many moon's ago we all went out drinking in birr (stieber cable's) work breakup your mam brought your dad out too we all had a great night. The lads told me he could turn his hand to anything he's a genius with a spanner....I see now is there anything he can't do ..😂👍
Uh well, so french people know that cows have smells as well as beef, correct?
Terrible story about fine. Who gave permission for the shed? Nice cattle you show.
so he has to take it down and they have to pay 120.000 euro what a joke i feel sorry for him
Frances 🇫🇷 mad legal system.
He said , that you said the they said ....guilty 🤣. Imagine that in Ireland. The judge would laugh you out of court.
I expect Jim we on different irelands as it can happen anywhere Disgruntled urbanite’s and greedy lawyers make a bad mix ,sad.but true
Your father is a hard working mechanic who has dandy cattle.
The farmer should hire some italians to impose real justice, pay the mob a justice fee. Those pesky cockroaches will not like being exterminated. Yet sometimes life requires you to kick a little.
thats bad news
🇮🇪👍😉
Wake up people, this is about depleting the food supply. If you don't know whats going on you are going to have a very rude awakening
That's some load of sh#t about shed
Choose to live next door to a farm and then complain about the noise and smell……wtf is wrong with people. Probably the very same people that like the view of the countryside and think it’s all natural where in fact nearly all of countryside was made by farmers and farming practices over the centuries
If this is about the terrible stink from agitated or spreading slurry then im with the neighbours. Farmers have been treating neighbours and tourists or anyone locally with contempt. If farmers in town for any reason were engulfed with smells from an urban sewage works they would not like it. Size of fine is ridiculous. So is shed removal.
Solution, put air pipes on floor and walls of all tanks and link to a compressor to regularly aerate the slurry. This prevents the dangerous and obnoxious gases building up and everyone gets on.
Wonder who would be the first to whine and cry when there’s no milk or dairy products on the shelves. People are stupid.
👍👌🇨🇦❤
🥰😊👍
Typical farmers tools, hammer vice gripe and a chisel
Neighbours from Hell.
no axle stands in france not a great example to younge mechanics
this is because you re foreign,good luck with the far cheerrs from Romania
Добрый день красавица вам нужно ли сотрудников или как

City ppl should stay in the city.
Ps - I can’t see the link (might be me being stupid!) can you put it in a reply please xx
Me 2
I guess that shows more people became more vegetarians so naturally they wouldn't want to listen to animals noise and smells. Yeah will screw them people god created framers and animals for a reason..
